This is my least favorite song by The Acorn, though the video fares better than the track (a rarity in the indie world, trust me). For a better example of the uncanny strength of Rolf Klausener’s frail, shifty voice, check out “Blankets” and “Glory”.

ADDICTED TO:
(PALINDROMES)
I look for them everywhere, on billboards, in magazines, even license plates. When I can’t see them, I try and think of new ones. A Soyota. Step-pets. Pull-up. You get the picture.
Then I found “A Gassy Obese Boy’s Saga,” and I didn’t know whether to jump for joy or to bury my palindromic head in the sand. The story is, you guessed it, a 500+ word palindrome. (So is the title of the story, as a sidenote).
Music fans love good musicians, unconditionally.
Why don’t you know about this?
“Scambaiting” is the art of turning a scam back onto a scammer, who reaches you mostly through email. The following site, however, is ruthless and relentless when it comes to screwing over these scammers. They have been known to spend over 8 months baiting a single scammer, having them do the most outlandish things (carving a bust of the scambaiter’s head, handwriting an entire Harry Potter book, re-enacting entire sketches from Monty Python, and so forth).
Believe me, this is unreal, and so clear a statement of karma.
Once you get there, you can go to the “Letters Archive” to read some amazing transcripts of various scambait ordeals.
Wow!
My friend thinks sci-fi books are male romance novels. I think he is an alien. The art of Matt Fox.

Why Don’t You Own This?
“I was following the pack
all swallowed in their coats
with scarves of red tied ’round their throats
to keep their little heads
from fallin’ in the snow
And I turn ’round and there you go
And Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow red
as strawberries in the summertime.”
